Your Ignorance of the Law is no Excuse

TOTEM REMOVAL If a totem is smudged, the owner of that totem has cause
on the smudger. If a totem is uprooted, the owner of that totem has
cause on the uprooter. This only applies if the smudger/uprooter can be
identified and if the totem was legal in the first place (i.e. the totem
was tuned only against people the owner had cause against, AND on the
property or grove of the owner, or other property on which the owner was
given permission to implant.
What this means is that it is POSSIBLE to have a legal totem which is
planted on public lands (although I have no way of knowing who Xash
currently has enemied), but the owner has no rights on anyone who
smudges or uproots that totem. If this were not the case, people could
have implanted totems anywhere... North of Thera... lining the entire
road to a city... you get the picture.
These totems would be almost impossible to remove, as a totemer is
utterly vulnerable during the long process of uprooting.
These totems were all on land not defendable by the city, and indeed
were personal totems in the sense that they were made by and tuned for
Xash. However, Mhaldor came out as a contingent to defend them as if
they had been on city property. Only Xash went so far as to actually
kill me without cause, however. I have no doubt he would have continued
to do so without restraint.
